Ultimate Responsive Image Slider Plugin Powered By Weblizar

The best hotel in Paris is back. This legendary hotel in Place Vendôme has played some significant roles in the Parisian high society history, to the point that the name Ritz itself became a worldwide synonymous of wealth and opulence. Several of its suites are named in honour of its famous guests, including Coco Chanel, Ernest Hemingway and Chopin. Not to mention the royalty. We have spent some nights after the recent total renovation and we enjoyed everything in our glamourous high ceiling suite. The short walking distance to the fashion boutiques at Rue Saint-Honoré is also enjoyable. ( Suites From US$ 3,700/Night )

The brand Cheval Blanc, (originally from the wine market and now owned by LVMH group ) is growing fast and  creating its own personality, that mixes the antagonic world of luxury and the world of modernity. Our Junior Suite had a surprasing in-room Hamman  At this point we must say that the rooms and the Spa ( by Dior)  have perfectly matched both worlds creating a wonderful atmosphere. But not at the entrance hall. It  ended up looking some steps below the super fancy Paris Hotels. in our vision.  The super high prices made us expect something more sumptuous to create more impact to the clients first sight.  Actually standing at  #3 in Paris.  (Rooms From US$  1,900/night)

The best hotel in town, New facilities, excellent views and a good restaurant. The best part is the rooftop swimming pool from where the guests may enjoy the perfect Ipanema Beach sunsets during the summer.  And where you may be seated side by side with Bonno Vox or the Queen of Qatar. Although we live in Rio, we have once spent one summer weekend at the Fasano.  Nice place!  (From US$ 500/night)

 


Unique Hotel São Paulo, Brazil

Unique Hotel is well known for its contemporary unique architecture with its semi-circular shape, resembling a watermelon slice. The property belongs to no major hotels group so there were far less design restrictions for architectural project. The tinted swimming pools and the round windows show well the matter. It is a comfortable hotel with good furniture and servives, but the price seemed a bit high for its standards though  (Suites from US$ 730/night)
